STANDARD Physics Specific Heat MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

The specific heat of air at constant 0.172 Cal g⁻¹°C⁻¹. The change in internal energy when 5g of air is heated from 0°C to 4°C at constant volume is

A

28.8 J

B

14.4 J

C

7.2 J

D

3.51 J

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

As constant volume, dW = PdV = P × 0 = 0. dQ = mC_vΔT = 5 × 0.172 × 4 cal = 5 × 0.172 × 4 × 4.2 J = 14.4 J. dU = dQ - dW = 14.4 - 0 = 14.4 J.
